Macpod 100 Powder For Oral Suspension contains Cefpodoxime Proxetil equivalent to 100 mg per 5 ml, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with broad-spectrum bactericidal activity. It is indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections including respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and otitis media. Cefpodoxime Proxetil acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. The oral suspension formulation allows for convenient administration in pediatric and adult patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets. Macpod 100 is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli, and Moraxella catarrhalis. The dosage should be individualized based on the severity of infection, patient age, and renal function. Common adverse effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain, as well as hypersensitivity reactions in susceptible individuals. Caution is advised in patients with a history of penicillin or cephalosporin allergy. Macpod 100 should be used under medical supervision with adherence to the prescribed course to prevent antibiotic resistance.
